3.5/4

This is very yummy. Greater than the sum of the parts!

Made as per the recipe - taste was fine, but the appearance is lacking. Not very pretty (too little green). I made it for a group dinner and was disappointed with the presentation. A number of other watermelon salads out there are just as tasty and prettier. The ricotta salata is excellent with the melon!

Very pretty and a great idea for all that leftover watermelon.

I forgot to mention I made this salad without the pine nuts, as pine nuts were elsewhere in my menu. I did not miss them one bit!

I made this for my dinner party guests last night, and they tucked into it before I could tell them what it was. There was a moment of shock when they realized it was watermelon, and then without missing a beat, sheer delight in the combination of flavors. They all swore it had mint in it, which might be a nice addition. One of them insisted on slurping the juices off his plate! I just now ate last night's leftovers, dubious the salad would still be good after a day. Even though it was better freshly tossed, it made a great day-old salad. Incredibly delicious! Don't fear--make it!

Delicious. Has to be tossed with
dressing right before serving. If you
can't find ricotta salata, it's also
good with feta.

A wonderful play on
textures and flavors - this
salad is a must in
watermelon season. I've
found that it's worth the
effort to pick out seeds
from seeded melons when
prepping. I think the new
seedless melons have had
their flavor and sweetness
bred out of them in the
name of convenience.
I like the firmer
texture of ricotta salata
when I can find it, but a
mild feta is a perfectly
reasonable substitute.

Ugh! This was as odd as it sounded. I don't think I've ever given 1 fork, but this is not good. Until I noticed that the recipe came from Bon Appetit, I thought that perhaps I was the victim of a practical joke played by the other reviewers. I still can't help but wonder. Really, don't make this salad.

made several times
to great review.
my suggestion would
be to not use salt
or pepper. the
cheese will add some salt by
itself.
